Bikes: specialized s works stump jumper (old but a goodie) and a old Phillipe road bike (12 speed shifters on the downtube)

When you change to integrated brake/shift levers, also get a matching front derailleur. The old-school leading-action front derailleurs from the 6-speed 105 era shift great with downtube shifters, but they don't jive with the indexing of the integrated levers.
What about dura-ace? My front derailleur is a dure-ace. It is mounted to a braze-on (wrong term?). Will that cause me any difficulties?
